Send form data so it is received as an HTML page? 1

Nottoobright · Oct 11, 2001

Hi,
I have a form that the user fills in with data and then uses a calculate button at the bottom to add up the entered costs. The user has to be able to enter an email address click send and the form will be sent to that address.

How do I do it so that the reciever will recieve the form in the same format as it was sent ie. the web page complete with data, so that it makes sense.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Yes, when building that HTML string for the email, quotes / double quotes can get tricky. Try something like this.

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% Option Explicit %>
<% Response.Buffer = True %>
<%
dim formVal
dim mail

formVal = Request.Form("d1&quot

set mail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail&quot

mail.to = "pk068917@stmail.staffs.ac.uk"
mail.from = "pk068917@stmail.staffs.ac.uk"
mail.subject = "TEST HTML Mail"
mail.body = "<html><head></head><body>" _
& "<font size='3' color='#FF0000'><strong>" _
& "Hello, this is an HTML email from " & formVal & "!" _
& "</font></strong>" _
& "</body></html>"
mail.BodyFormat = 0
mail.MailFormat = 0
mail.send
set mail = Nothing
%>
